A touching story

This is a sad story about a boy who is dying of cancer and how he kidnaps his doctor,for him to bring him to a holy place that he thinks can save his life.

The movie shows how the boy is not willing to give up hope about finding the holy mountain where he can rest his sole. You can't help not feeling sorry for the 16year old boy,and especially when you hear about what he has been through.

Woody Harrelson plays one of his best roles ever as the doctor who starts to believe in the boy and are willing to sacrifice everything to help him. The young boy is played by Jon Seda who does an amazing job.

This is a great story that teaches you not to give up hope and fight for what you believe in.

See the movie and find out what I mean.
